STEVE Steel’s Sunday 2nd XI recorded the league double over Barkston and Syston, as they registered a seven wicket win after chasing down 212 in their clash at Mill Lane.

After the visitors elected to bat allowing Andy Kenneth to bowl both Reynolds and Dewey but the batsmen recovered patiently.

They could only muster 212 for 7 in their 40 overs with 12-year-old Kieran Chance taking his and collecting 3 for 46 with Ian Parker (1 for 13 and Dan Tompkins (1 for 28) also taking wickets.

Sileby’s reply began well, with Parker and Connor Simon putting on 23.

Simon and Dave King rotated the strike well before Simon picked out Kelly at mid on for an excellent 48.

King scored his first career half-century and having added 105 with Simon, and then 26 with Alex Pantling (4), Sileby were still looking like finishing second best with 59 runs needed from eight overs.

Tompkins hit 37, in double quick time, and he was instrumental in Sileby getting over the line.

King found his range finishing unbeaten on 76 before a Tompkins boundary over mid off that saw his side over the line.
